four years or more, and
WHEREAS, Major Applewhite feels that on account of his
health he must ask to be relieved,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board of Regents express
to Major Applewhite their high appreciation for the services
he has rendered this University and State. That we acknow-
ledge gratefully his unselfish devotion to the interests of
the University in all its Departments; his loyalty and help-
ful attitude toward the building up of all its Departments;

tary problems; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be
mailed to Major Applewhite accompanied with the best wishes
of this institution for his good health and prosperity.
The bill of Regent A. A. Codd of $250 for traveling expenses

We, the Associated Students of the University of Nevada,
realizing that the good name of our University is in our
hands, and that if our conduct is of a nature to bring
criticism upon us the whole University is injured, do
hereby resolve:
1. That we disapprove of groups of students being seen in
saloons, resorts and cafes; and of students being seen
at any time in any place in an intoxicated or partially
intoxicated condition.
2. That we disapprove of smoking about the entrance of
buildings where dances are being held; believing that
all smoking at dances should be confined to the Men's
Dressing Rooms.
3. That we consider it essential that the conduct of all
students and especially of men and women students when
they are together upon the Campus or upon the streets
of Reno, should scrupulously conform to the usages of
good society everywhere, in order to be absolutely above
criticism.
Moved by Regent Pratt, that the communication of Captain Lowe A.
Mc Clure, asking for permission to install an indoor gallery
range in the basement of Lincoln Hall, the expense to be borne
by the Rifle Club and the Lincoln Hall Association, be referred
to the incoming Board of Regents.
Moved by Mr. Pratt, that the petition of the students about
Professor Russell be received and referred to the incoming Board
of Regents.

from Faber and Mc Farland, the successors to the J. I. Allenbach

tract had been made and that action upon these bids be referred
to the incoming Board of Regents.
The resignation of Miss Kate Bardenwerper, Associate Professor
of Home Economics, was read by President Hendrick, the resigna-
tion to be effective July 1, 1917. Moved by Regent Codd, that

December 7, 1916
The Honorable Board of Regents
University of Nevada
Hon. Chas. B. Henderson, Chairman
The undersigned administrative Heads of the Colleges, Schools
and Public Service Divisions of the University of Nevada,
having earnestly conferred together, very respectfully sub-
mit for your consideration the following:
We are of one mind that for its growth, development, service
and efficiency the University of Nevada is dependent upon the
same principles as are at the foundation of all great educa-
tional institutions, namely --
Cooperation and loyalty within the University and between the
public and the University, subject at all times to honest,
temperate and constructive criticism, and
Continuity of administration and of policies, when once
initiated, for the time necessary to test their success or
failure.
That unless highly consecrated to these principles no educa-
tional institution can succeed or fully perform the functions
and services for which it was created.
Mindful of the trying circumstances under which it has been
conducted, we hereby take occasion to express our general
approval and endorsement of the administration of President
Hendrick, and, further, to register the conviction that if
permitted the time necessary to test its success, the welfare
of the University will be conserved in keeping with the
principles enunciated.
